There is a Roleplay Timeline which gives the vague explination of what happened.

We have a Discord server where a google formula is which is mainly about when the election is going to happen. You can find our server here: https://discord.gg/56b28C6 which you might want to take a look at because of when you have time. :)

The roleplay currently is set in April SC0127. Following the 152nd Generation joining, the member Kashita Akane succeeded and became Yokoyama Yui the 13.5th. AKB0048 then released a new single titled KISEKI ("Miracle"). Rei is performing the main song alongside other members. Rei is also included into the drama Majisuka Gakuen 00 where her role is River, a student who holds suspictions against the team leader and school's top fighter Tactic.

Not too soon afterwards, Sato Amina the 6th (Kagawa Sayuri) graduated and AKB0048 had a large concert on halloween. Nowadays, we call it Halloween Shuffle Concert. Alongside the performance of the new single Kyuuseishu ("Savivor"), the rock-paper-scissors tournament and a shuffle were annonced. Rei became a member of Team K. Both teams started stage setlist performances, A1 and K1. The 151.5th Generation member Shino Hoshina became a successor in late SC0123 (2015), Maeda Atsuko the 19th.

SC0124 started with the "Janken Taikai" or "Rock-Paper-Scissors" tournament where Rei, via random.org, lost to Ashley Snow in the first round. 150th Generation trainee Takayama Ai won. Ai soon became the newest successor of Takahashi Minami, being the 7th to bear the name. Himitsu no Challenge ("Secret Challenge") was released as result.

Ashley Snow then became a successor, Matsui Rena the 9th and the 153rd Generation was announced. The generation currently consists of 4 successors and 6 trainees. Their debut song, Daisukina Idol is a part of the single Reality which started another election. During the election period, Takematsu Tomoka of the 153rd Generation, became a successor, Kuramochi Asuka the 13th. The election was won by Miyabi Honoka.

In the end of SC0124, Shiraki Chiyo of the 152nd Generation became Sashihara Rino the 11th and Kimura Mei of the same generation became Shimazaki Haruka the 11th. On December 31st, AKB0048 hold another big concert, the Kouhaku Utagassen SC0124. During this, various things were announced. A mysterious VTR aired which was the first promotion of the upcoming drama Protocol Magi :ORIGIN. Rei plays the students council of the school in this drama. 153rd Generation trainee Ooto Melody announced a hiatus, and AKB0048's first album in the new era, Setsuzoku no Chain wa Sudeni Koko ni Aru ("the chain of connection is already here") was announced alongside its main song, Orchestra.

SC0125 (2017) started with the succession of Matsuto Nami (Kodama Haruka the 8th) and was followed by another Janken Taikai. This was won by 153rd Generation trainee Asami Mirai who therefore centered Castle of Glass. Following this, Ooto Melody returned to 0048 from her hiatus after a family drama, but Matsui Rena the 9th / Ashley Snow announced graduation. Her final single, Rose no Hibi ("days of the rose") was released soon after. Her graduation happened during the election voting period. The election was won by Takahashi Minami the 7th who centred Asphodel no Sekai ("the world of the asphodel").

After the election, the 154th Generation joined. This audition varied a lot; the girls were attacked by "DES" (disguised WOTA) on their way to the Flying Get and aided by two members of 0048 in each group. The 154th Generation members were, however, attacked by real DES. Sashihara Rino the 11th and Ryuuzaki Miyoko helped them. Various roleplays related to their debut happened, including Ayana Elise revealing that she is a princess of Royalstar.

153rd Generation trainee Murasaki Alisa became Eguchi Aimi the 4th shortly before their next single, Kinou no Teki wa Mirai no Nakama ("the enemies of the past are our future allies") was released. Around that time, the amnesiac Yuihan learned that she was actually a childhood friend of Tomone Kaoru of the 154th Generation. Shortly after the single release, Masuda Akari of the 151st Generation confronted her family whose beliefs were influenced by Aleenstar and became a successor, Hirate Yurina the 7th. AKB0048 had a concert tour on not-banned planets, including Koreastar where they met with the now-graduate Ashley Snow. AKB0048's next single, Masshiro na Mirai wo Irodzukeru ("let me colour the snow white future") was promoted here.

SC0126 (2018) started with the introduction of the 154.5th Generation, starting with Nishimura Karin and Murasaki Aoi. Girls who were unable to attend the 154th generation auditions are given another chance to try out which over the time resulted in the arrival of at least four other girls. New characters are currently atted to this generation, if they aren't going to be part of the 155th Generation which will join after the next election.

The next Janken Taikai happened, won by 154th Generation trainee Kasumi Yuuna who centred Kaetai Mirai ("the future I want to change"). The previous year's winner, Asami Mirai, succeded Nakai Rika as 15th to bear the name. During the Janken, another shuffle happened which is why, AKB0048's 150th to 154th generation are now split into Team A, Team K and Team B. Rei remained in K. The teams started new stages, A2, K2 and B1. During the final performance of the previous Team A, Maeda Atsuko the 19th / Shino Hoshina announced graduation because the user left the roleplay. Hoshina-chan's other two characters were taken over by me and Lily. 154th Generation trainee Takaine Miyako became Minegeshi Minami the 7th. During this time, Nagase Yuuri, Koizumi Ayaka and Shiratama Mayu joined as part of the 154.5th Generation.

In the last roleplay which was April Fools Day, the next single Sekiran no Geijitsu ("art of the cumonolous") was announced. Natsuki Hotaru (154.5th Generation) joined AKB0048 on this day too. The current roleplays are a Staff Roleplay and a guerila concert which I have been hyping since forever. The 155th Generation auditions were announced; information can be found [|here].

You can find all songs, Rei is part of, in her category under Category:Hoshikawa Rei. She is featured in various B-Sides and KISEKI.

Would you like me to write down all of Rei's songs and a short intro to all active characters? Feel free to ask any questions. :)
